The 1950's began in the year of 1950 (57 years ago), just after the end of 1949. The decade (a ten year period) that followed was known as the Fifties. If you were 90 years old in the Fifties, you were 5 years old when the Civil War started and 10 at the beginning Reconstruction.
If you were 50 in 1950, You had seen two of the worst wars (WW1, WW2) in world history and were old enough to have fought in both (and many did).
If you were 20 in 1950, and male, you were likely to be drafted (forced to join the Army against your will) into the military for the war brewing in Korea. Women were expected to be wives, mothers, or "spinsters". Women had very little opportunity to do anything else.
If you are 57 now, you were born in 1950.
Reading history will help you know how cool it is to live right now. Good luck on your test.
